Hi
I must confess I thought last year was dull but I didn't think they could make it worse. Last year it was a case of follow a red bull around a track and maybe have a bit of jostling for position mid field. This year it is form a nice orderly line after lap 1 and drive around trying not to have your fuel run out and hope nothing brakes. I came down to watch it at lap 3 and I don't think I saw anyone try and overtake anyone else. If you want to save fuel, dump all the stupid heavy electrical stuff and make the races half as long, at least then you might get some racing!
Maybe when Berny finally goes we may see some sanity return and someone will remember it is called motor racing.
Bast regards
Mike

I watched it today. And fell asleep faster than normal
I could hardly hear the engines ?
Plenty of breakages though. So not unlike RWYB

Actually that's not quite true, last year started off to be a great season with 4 different winners in the first 6 races, until Red Bull complained about the tyres and they changed back to the 2012 compounds, which is what the Red Bull was set up to use. After that, it was a forgone conclusion and one of the worst seasons on record it terms of watchability.kiwicar wrote:Hi

I'm going to give it more time for 2014. The cars do sound wierd, I miss the screaming 18k V8s too ... but they have some interesting sounds on rundown/deccellaration from the hybrid power units. They're only a little bit slower than last year. The cars don't weigh much different from preceding seasons either. The power is down in terms of bhp (600bhp +160bhp boost), but the torque is up, way way up! F1 has moved on, that's the whole point of the race series and always has been, pushing technology. If you want old skool, watch a revival race series. They certainly needed these changes as F1 had stagnated terribly.
The race yesterday was ok, not brilliant, but as long as RB don't win, I'm all in. Gutted for Hamilton, really happy for Rosberg and McLaren had a great start to the season.
Berny won't be lasting much longer in F1 now, given what's happened in the past year.
RIP MGB V8 .... served me well as a learning curve.

I'm not a fan- they are too quiet! You can barely hear the engine noise on the trackside shots above the commentators voices...
I loved the bit where it switched to an onboard shot with one of the Mercedes and Coulthard said something like "Sounds like a Massey Ferguson..."
Its not proper racing either - inbetween managing the tyres and the fuel what percentage of the race distance are the drivers actually driving with the hammer down?
And why does motor racing have to be green anyway? Its like having a pork pie eating contest at a Vegan Hippy get together... Surely all the fuel savings made in the races must be massively outweighed by the flights everyone has to make and the tens of thousands of miles the motorhomes and support trucks drive each year.
I know, i know, the technology will trickle into the mainstream in a few years time - but you know what? My newest car is 28 years old, so it doesnt really make a difference to me!
Rant over.
